Kamakura Shogunate

Japanese: 鎌倉将軍府 - かまくらしょうぐんふ

A local governing body of the Kenmu government. Also known as the Kozuke Imperial Prince's Office. It was founded in 1333 when Ashikaga Tadayoshi, accompanied by his son, Prince Nariyoshi, travelled to Kamakura by order of Emperor Godaigo. It governed 10 provinces in the Kanto region. It was essentially led by the Ashikaga clan, and became a base for the samurai forces centered around the clan. In 1335, Ashikaga Takauji defected from the Kenmu government and based himself in Kamakura, and it disappeared. In terms of system, it was connected to the Kamakura government of the Muromachi shogunate. → Kenmu Restoration

建武(けんむ)政府の地方統治機関。上野(こうずけ)親王庁とも。1333年後醍醐(ごだいご)天皇の命で皇子成良(なりよし)親王を奉じて足利直義(ただよし)が鎌倉に下向し開創。関東10ヵ国の統治にあたった。実質的に足利氏が主導し，同氏を中心とする武家勢力の拠点となった。1335年足利尊氏が建武政府に離反し鎌倉に拠ったため消滅。制度上室町幕府の鎌倉府につながる。→建武新政
